Description |
Cis-sabinene hydrate is a member of the class of compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. Bicyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Thus, cis-sabinene hydrate is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Cis-sabinene hydrate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cis-sabinene hydrate is a balsamic tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as sweet marjoram, spearmint, common sage, and pot marjoram, which makes cis-sabinene hydrate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
